With only 18 minutes of cooking time, this is great served hot or cold, at a brunch buffet or potluck.

1 salmon fillet (1 1/2 pounds)

1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

1/3 cup honey

2 tablespoons peeled and grated fresh ginger

2 cloves garlic, peeled, pressed

Place the salmon in a glass or ceramic baking dish large enough to hold it. In a glass measuring cup, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, ginger and garlic. Reserve a couple of tablespoons to brush on the cooked salmon. Pour the remaining mixture over the salmon, lifting it up with a fork so that the marinade can run underneath. If you have time, cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate 2 hours. Otherwise, set it aside while the oven heats.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Uncover the salmon and bake it until the soy sauce mixture forms a glaze and the fish begins to flake around the edges, about 18 minutes. If the fillet is thicker in the center, the center will cook less. Brush with reserved glaze if desired and serve hot or cold.
